Hi all, Did anybody have able to use Amazon feature in Koha 2.2.9? Since Amazon introduce ECS 4.0 and disable ECS 3.0, I tried to get it work, but still fail. Amzari Abu Bakar Department of Engineering International Islamic University Malaysia amzari79(a)gmail.com

Re: [Koha] Library Database for Australian Water Environments

You'll probably get some other answers, but I thought I'd tackle the inhouse reports question. I also have loads of inhouse reports and unpublished materials (about 1/3 of my collection). Yes, I have to use the MARC record to describe these items, but I was able to customise Koha so that only the title, barcode and format are required fields. You are welcome to check out our catalog: http://www.fishlib.org It is a work in progress as the switch from the previous software (InMagic) was not smooth.

General Question from Newbie
by gayle prentice wood 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Please forgive me if this is an incorrect use of this forum, but I am looking to install Koha for use as the ILS at my small, alternative school and I am a bit overwhelmed. I have an IT guy who is well-versed in the programming side of things, but I want to make sure that I communicate with him best about how to set things up to fit my needs. Has anyone created a "Koha for Dummies" tutorial? Or is anyone out there in a similar situation with a small collection (>500 titles) who is using the basic features (cataloging, Z39.50 for acquisition, circulation and OPAC) and can give me some tips? We have no budget to contract with anyone (i.e. LibLime) for training or tech support in the initial stages. I appreciate your help! Gayle Prentice Wood Mt. Scott Learning Centers
